BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a rotor and a torque sensor andelectronic power steering system including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Generally, an auxiliary steering system using separate power is employedas an apparatus for ensuring steering stability of a vehicle.

Conventionally, a hydraulic apparatus has been employed as the aboveauxiliary steering system. Recently, however, an electronic powersteering (EPS) system having a characteristic of small power loss andexcellent accuracy has been used.

In the EPS system mentioned above, an electronic control unit (ECU)operates a motor according to travel conditions sensed by a speedsensor, a steering angle sensor, and a torque sensor to ensure corneringstability and to provide a rapid restoring force. Due to the above, itis possible for a driver to drive safely.

However, angular velocity as well as torque or a steering angle appliedto a steering shaft must be measured to allow such a power system tointervene as a force manipulating a steering wheel.

Generally, a steering angle sensor is used to measure a rotation angleof the steering shaft and a torque sensor is employed for measuringsteering torque.

Recently, however, a torque angle sensor (TAS) which can sense torqueand a rotation angle simultaneously has been widely employed. However,since a process of manufacturing a TAS which detects a steering angle orsteering angular velocity is complicated and there is high probabilityof a failure or malfunction of the TAS, a torque index sensor (TIS)adopting a principle of an index sensor is sometimes used.

Meanwhile, a magnet which is commonly employed in the TAS and the TIS isformed in a ring shape and is fixed to a yoke by bonding so thatvertical movement of the magnet may be regulated.

However, when the magnet is fixed in only a vertical direction and acrack is generated on the magnet or the magnet is broken due to anexternal shock, the broken magnet can be deviated in a circumferentialdirection thereof so that the magnet deviates from an installationlocation thereof. There is a risk of the deviated magnet damaging othersensors installed around the magnet and the damaged magnet not forming amagnetic field normally, and thus there is a problem in that it isimpossible to measure the torque of the steering shaft.

Rotors 1, 1 a, and 1 b according to embodiments of the present inventionmay include a structure for preventing a deviation of a magnet and astructure for preventing a slipping of the magnet.

A deviation-preventing structure may prevent a broken magnet from beingdeviating in a radial direction when the magnet is broken.

In addition, a slip-preventing structure may prevent the magnet fromslipping in a circumferential direction thereof.

Hereinafter, the deviation-preventing structure and the slip-preventingstructure of the rotors 1, 1 a, and 1 b will be described.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the rotor 1 according to one embodiment ofthe present invention may include a shaft sleeve 100, a magnet 200, anda fixing part. Here, the fixing part may be a first bonding layer 300which fixes an upper portion of the magnet 200 to an outercircumferential surface of the shaft sleeve 100.

The shaft sleeve 100 is connected to a steering shaft (not shown).Further the shaft sleeve 100 may be rotated in response to a rotation ofthe steering shaft.

The steering shaft may be coupled to an inner circumferential surface ofthe shaft sleeve 100. Here, the shaft sleeve 100 may be formed in a longcylindrical shape.

The shaft sleeve 100 may include a cylindrically shaped shaft sleevemain body 110, a stopper 120, and a key groove 130.

The shaft sleeve main body 110 may be formed in a long cylindricalshape, and the steering shaft may be coupled to an inner circumferentialsurface of the shaft sleeve main body 110.

The stopper 120 may be formed at an end portion of one side of the shaftsleeve main body 110.

The stopper 120 may be formed to protrude outward along the end portionat a lower side of the shaft sleeve main body 110.

Here, although the structure in which the stopper 120 is formed toprotrude outward at a lower side of the shaft sleeve main body 110 alongthe circumferential direction is described as one example, the presentinvention is not necessarily limited thereto. In other words, aplurality of stoppers 120 may be formed to be spaced apart from eachother and protrude outward at the lower side of the shaft sleeve mainbody 110 along the circumferential direction.

In addition, an end portion of the stopper 120 may be bent in adirection of surrounding the magnet 200. In other words, as shown inFIGS. 4A and 4B, the end portion of the stopper 120 may be bent in adirection opposite a direction in which the magnet 200 is inserted.

For example, the stopper 120 may be formed to have an “L” shapedcross-section as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.

Therefore, one side of a lower portion of the magnet 200 may besupported by the stopper 120.

Here, when the shaft sleeve main body 110 is formed of a metallicmaterial, the stopper 120 may be formed by a bending process. Inaddition, when the shaft sleeve main body 110 is injection-molded with aresin material, the stopper 120 may be formed integrally with the shaftsleeve main body 110 via molding.

The key groove 130 may be formed by incising one section of the stopper120. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of key grooves 130 may be formed.In addition, the key groove 130 is coupled to a portion which protrudesfrom the magnet 200 to form the slip-preventing structure so that aslipping of the magnet 200 caused by a rotation of the shaft may beprevented.

The magnet 200 is installed to rotate in response to a rotation of theshaft sleeve 100, and may have a ring shape on which an N pole and an Spole are arranged to alternate along an outer circumferential surfacethereof.

The magnet 200 may include a magnet main body 210, a fixing protrusion220 fitting into the key groove 130 of the shaft sleeve 100, and abonding groove 230.

As shown in FIG. 2, the magnet main body 210 may be formed in a ringshape and arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the shaftsleeve main body 110 to allow the stopper 120 to support one side of themagnet main body.

In addition, the magnet main body 210 may include a supportingprotrusion 211 formed to be coupled to a stopper groove 121 formed byforming the stopper 120 to be bent.

The supporting protrusion 211 may protrude in an axial direction of themagnet main body 210 at a lower side of the magnet main body 210.

Thus, the supporting protrusion 211 may be supported by the stopper 120to prevent the magnet main body 210 from being deviated by centrifugalforce when the magnet main body 210 is rotated.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the fixing protrusion 220 may be coupled tothe key groove 130 of the shaft sleeve 100. The fixing protrusion 220may protrude in the axial direction of the magnet main body 210 at oneside of a lower surface 212 of the magnet main body 210.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of fixing protrusions 220 may bearranged and may be coupled to the key grooves 130 to prevent the magnet200 from slipping in the circumferential direction according to arotation of the shaft sleeve 100. That is, the slip-preventing structureof the rotor 1 may be formed by coupling the fixing protrusion 220 tothe key groove 130.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the bonding groove 230 may be formed at an innerside of the magnet main body 210 along the circumferential directionthereof. For example, the bonding groove 230 may be formed to have astep at the inner side of the magnet main body 210 along thecircumferential direction thereof.

In addition, referring to FIG. 4B, the bonding groove 230 may be filledwith an adhesive to form the first bonding layer 300.

Therefore, the upper portion of the magnet 200 may be fixed by the firstbonding layer 300 and the lower portion of the magnet may be supportedby the stopper 120. Due to the above, it is possible to prevent piecesof a broken magnet from deviating from a mounting location through thedeviation-preventing structure of the rotor 1 fixing the upper portionand the lower portion of the magnet 200 even when a crack is generatedon the magnet 200, thereby avoiding damage to different componentscaused by the deviated pieces of the broken magnet.

For example, with respect to each piece of broken magnet, because anupper portion of the piece of broken magnet is fixed by the firstbonding layer 300 and a lower portion of the piece is supported by thestopper 120, the piece of the broken magnet may be prevented fromdeviating from the mounting location through the deviation-preventingstructure.

Meanwhile, the magnet 200 may further include a concave-convex part 240formed on an upper end portion thereof.

The concave-convex part 240 may be formed in a concave-convex shape andformed on an upper surface of the magnet 200 along the circumferentialdirection thereof. At this time, the concave-convex shape may be a wedgeshape to facilitate a coupling of the concave-convex part with a jig(not shown). In addition, the concave-convex shape may be obtained by aline shaped fine groove or by one protrusion or a plurality ofprotrusions.

Therefore, the concave-convex part 240 may come into contact with oneend of the jig to provide friction force. Due to the above, a rotationalforce may be precisely transmitted to the concave-convex part 240through the jig when a central point of the rotor 1 is adjusted.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, the rotor 1 may further include a secondbonding layer 400.

The second bonding layer 400 may be formed between the outercircumferential surface of the shaft sleeve 100 and an innercircumferential surface of the magnet 200. That is, the shaft sleeve 100and the magnet 200 may be coupled to each other by the second bondinglayer. Therefore, the deviation-preventing structure may be furtherstrengthened by the second bonding layer 400.

Here, an adhesive may be provided as the second bonding layer 400.

Hereinafter, a rotor 1 a according to another embodiment of the presentinvention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. In thedescription of the rotor 1 a, however, components which are the same asthose constituting the rotor 1 described above are indicated by the samereference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

When the rotor 1 a is compared with the rotor 1, a fixing part and amagnet coupled to the fixing part of the rotor 1 a differ from those ofthe rotor 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6 to 8, the rotor 1 a may include a shaftsleeve 100, a magnet 200 a, and a fixing part 300 a. Here, the magnet200 a may include a magnet main body 210 having a supporting protrusion211, a fixing protrusion 220 fitting into a key groove 130 of the shaftsleeve 100, a concave-convex part 240, and a fixing groove 250.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the fixing groove 250 may be formed in anupper portion of the magnet 200 a along a circumferential directionthereof. Here, although the fixing groove 250 formed in the upperportion of the magnet 200 a is described and illustrated as an example,the present invention is not limited thereto. The fixing groove may alsobe formed in a side surface of the upper portion of the magnet 200 a.

The fixing part 300 a may be a fixing member having a ring shape. Also,the fixing member 300 a may be disposed in the fixing groove 250. Here,the fixing member may be formed of a rubber material having elasticforce.

Therefore, the upper portion of the magnet 200 a may be fixed by thefixing member 300 a, and a lower portion of the magnet may be supportedby a stopper 120. Due to the above, pieces of the broken magnet may beprevented from deviating from a mounting location through thedeviation-preventing structure of the rotor 1 a fixing the upper portionand a lower portion of the magnet 200 a even when a crack is generatedon the magnet 200 a, thereby avoiding damage to different componentscaused by deviated pieces of the broken magnet.

Even though the rotor 1 a in which the upper portion of the magnet 200 ais fixed using the fixing groove 250 and the fixing member 300 a isillustrated and described as an example, the present invention is notnecessarily limited thereto, and the upper portion of the magnet 200 amay be fixed using the fixing member 300 a such as an O-ring withoutforming the fixing groove 250. However, it is preferable that the rotor1 a include a structure such as the fixing groove 250 which can guide aninstallation location to set a location of the fixing member 300 a.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotor 1 a may further include thesecond bonding layer 400.

Hereinafter, the rotor 1 b according to still another embodiment of thepresent invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9. In thedescription of the rotor 1 b, however, components which are the same asthose constituting the rotors 1 and 1 a described above are indicated bythe same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.When the rotor 1 b is compared with the rotors 1 and 1 a, locations of akey groove and a fixing protrusion of the rotor 1 b, which constitutethe slip-preventing structure, differ from those of the rotors 1 and 1a.

The rotor 1 b may include a shaft sleeve 100 a, a magnet 200 b, andfixing parts 300 and 300 a. In addition, the rotor 1 b may furtherinclude a second bonding layer 400.

The shaft sleeve 100 a may include a shaft sleeve main body 110, astopper 120, and a fixing protrusion 140.

The magnet 200 b may include a magnet main body 210 and a key groove 260which fits the fixing protrusion 140 of the shaft sleeve 100 a.

Here, the magnet 200 b may further include a bonding groove 230 formedto correspond to the fixing part 300 or the fixing groove 250 formed tocorrespond to the fixing part 300 a.

In addition, the key groove 260 may be formed in one side of a lowerportion of the magnet main body 210.

As shown in FIG. 9, the fixing protrusion 140 of the shaft sleeve 100 ais formed on the stopper 120, and the key groove 260 may be formed inthe magnet 200 b. Due to the above, the rotor 1 b according to stillanother embodiment of the present invention may be formed by couplingthe fixing protrusion 140 and the key groove 260 with each other.Therefore, even when the shaft sleeve 100 a is rotated, a couplingbetween the fixing protrusion 140 and the key groove 260 may prevent themagnet 200 b from slipping in the circumferential direction thereof.

In summary, since the upper portion of the magnets 200, 200 a, and 200 bof the rotors 1, 1 a, and 1 b are fixed by the fixing parts 300 and 300a and the lower portion of the magnet is supported by the stopper 120, abroken magnet may be prevented from deviating in the circumferentialdirection even when a crack or breakage is generated on the magnets 200,200 a, and 200 b. Consequently, a broken magnet deviated from a mountinglocation thereof may be prevented from damaging other components.

That is, in the rotors 1, 1 a, and 1 b, a stable structure for mountingthe magnet 200 may be provided by using the fixing parts 300 and 300 aand the stopper 120.

In addition, it is possible to prevent the magnets 200, 200 a, and 200 bfrom slipping in the circumferential direction through a couplingbetween the fixing protrusions 140 and 220 and the key grooves 130 and260 in the rotors 1, 1 a, and 1 b.

Referring to FIG. 10, a torque sensor 2 according to one embodiment ofthe present invention may measure torque of a steering shaft (notshown).

The torque sensor 2 may include the rotor 1, 1 a, or 1 b, a stator 500,and a housing 600. Here, the housing 600 may include an upper case 610and a lower case 620.

The upper case 610 and the lower case 620 of the housing 600 are coupledto each other to form an appearance of the torque sensor 2, and therotor 1, 1 a, or 1 b and the stator 500 may be disposed inside thehousing 600.

The rotor 1, 1 a, or 1 b may be connected to the steering shaft androtated in response to a rotation of the steering shaft. In addition,the rotor 1, 1 a, or 1 b may be disposed inside the stator 500.

In addition, an electronic power steering (EPS) system according to oneembodiment of the present invention may include the torque sensor 2.

Here, the torque sensor 2 may be connected to a steering shaft of theEPS system.

A lower portion of the magnet disposed in the rotor having the structuredescribed above and a torque sensor and EPS system including the rotoraccording to one embodiment of the present invention is supported by astopper, and an upper portion of the above magnet can be supported usingan adhesive or a fixing member. Therefore, a broken magnet may beprevented from deviating from an original bonding location thereof evenwhen a magnet is broken by an external shock. Consequently, a brokenmagnet deviated from a mounting location thereof may be prevented fromdamaging other components.

Furthermore, since the slip-preventing structure for the magnet isformed using the fixing protrusion and the key groove, a slipping of themagnet caused by a rotation of the shaft sleeve can be prevented toavoid a malfunction of the torque sensor.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to theembodiments in the above detailed description, one skilled in the artshould understand that the present invention may be variously changedand modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the presentinvention defined in the appended claims.
